not sure if this is possible with ADW
Hints:
As not everyone like the new app drawer icon, you can create your own app drawer icon by doing this:
Menu/Add/Custom Shortcut/pick activity/Launcher Actions/Open-Close App drawer
Then you can leave the default icon or choose your own one and put it on the dock in whatever position you want.

is there an app that changes app names? I found "App name editor" but that only changes app names on your "home screen" or "desktop(s)" as i call it. I'd like to change the name in the app screen. for instance "hide my sms" doesnt do me much good if the name implies exactly what its doing. any such app?
I don't know of any app like that, but I would imagine you're going to have to use a 3rd party launcher to be able to edit app names in the app drawer. You may want to check out LauncherPro - it looks very similar to the stock launcher, but lets you customize all sorts of things. One feature is the ability to hide certain apps from showing up in your app drawer at all. Would this solve your problem, and you could still put a link to the app on your homescreen (with a changed name or even without the name, just the icon).

ADW Launcher EX has a edit option which can rename app name & change icon.
Maybe try that.

in the app drawer, or just on the homescreen? I know LauncherPro can do both on the homescreen, don't know about the app drawer.

ADW just on homescreen.
Haven't found the solution for the app drawer :/
Is there any way to show a launcher in the app drawer? I would like to get ADW to show so I can make a shortcut in Launcher7. If I can't do it through an app would it be possible to do it through editing the apk? If yes, then what would I have to change?
i want to know 2
I don't know if this helps but go launcher has an icon in the app drawer, it doesn't have much use but it's possible to put an icon there, if i click it, it just goes back to the main screen because the launcher was launched...
Does anyone know of an app that can launch your app drawer?
Ive tried Desktop Visualizer, but it doesnt give me the option to launch the app drawer. i can only do it using the rosie.
I wanted to know if i could basically create an icon on a home screen to launch the drawer so i could use a completely hidden rosie.

Launcher pro or adw launcher can do this.

Yup! Just long press and add a "Launcher Action"... They will let you customise the icon as well
I prefer ADWLauncher EX the paid version

where do i long press? im using LPP and desktop visualizer but i still cant figure out how to use an icon to launch the app drawer
On an empty space on one of your home screens... as it you would add a widget or a shortcut.
Works fine on ADW Launcher Pro.

still no luck. i dont see where LPP or DV gives me the option to add a 'launcher action'
when i long press the homescreen, i get the standard Shortcuts, Widgets, LPP Widgets, Folders, and Wallpapers
where do i go from here?

Launcher actions are shortcuts I think.

I assume you need the ADW launcher for the extra options.

In adw just press and hold the launcher icon on the bottom bar and drag it up to the screen
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
If you have LPP or ADW you don't need DV...
I think LauncherPro you would: long press home screen / add shortcut / actions / launcherPro / LauncherPro (app list in small type)
Hope that helps.
Though it is not really the "App drawer" its just a list... ADW actually gives you far more customisable options. Try the free one first if you like

In Launcher Pro, keep your finger down on one of the mi ddle buttons on each dock. It will say Edit dock shortcut.
goto change shortcut --> App Drawer.
Done

Sorry, ignore me, I see what you're trying to do. I'm not sure LP can do this. I can;t see an activity which replicates opening the app drawer. You might ask the developer. He's pretty good at responding.
I have your answer.
Adw.
Search settings for hide bottom dock.
Search settings. Use swipe up gesture for app drawer.
Done
I think I'm having the same problem here.
I was trying to launch the app drawer from the homescreen, not from the dock, but LPP doesn't have that option or perhaps I just don't know how to do it?
Using DV also doesn't help.
Any ideas?
How do I add more icons to the above?
and yes, I did do a search in here and did a google search too. any help will be appreciated.

It's in the ADW launcher settings, look for the dock icons option, then just drag and drop you apps you want in the new spots.

If you want more icons to choose from, download new themes from the market or from within dock settings under themes
If you want more icons on the dock it self (eg 5 instead of 3) then you hit the soft menu key, go to more. Click adw settings. Its in there somewhere under dock icon as stated above.

So I went to ADW settings, General Behavior and this is all I see. SENSE PREVIEWS, CLOSING FOLDER, SHOW NOTIFICATION, BUBBLE FONT SIZE, HOME BUTTON BINDING, SWIPE DOWN ACTIONS, SWIPE UP ACTIONS AND DOUBLE TAP ACTIONS.
This is really frustrating.
Do you mean as a shortcut icon, lets say if you click the icon the app drawer is launched?
The instructions I gave were for ADW Launcher EX. Sorry about that. Should've asked which version.

Is there any app that can be used to change individual icons within the app drawer (not the home screen). I should be able to change the individual app icons for my own liking. For instance within Apex u can change icons by long clicking on the app n choosing an icon, so I want the same functionality within the app drawer
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
A theme would do this, wouldn't it (which Apex supports) ?
It'll change icons like sms and Gmail like most app packs do. But not all apps are supported so you'll have some themed icons and some non themed in your drawer. I'm looking for something that's able to apply different icons to apps in the drawer too.
Sent from my Nexus 7
So the app I would need is one that would b able to change the non-themed icons...u may say tht the particular theme doesn't support sm icons bt if u look within the icon pack u will find tht the custom themes do exist but they haven't been changed within the app drawer

With Holo launcher or LiveHome (free app) => https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mo.android.livehome&hl=en
Try Nova launcher .
Sent with my Google Nexus 7 through the XDA Developers APP.
Here it is
Download the attachment app below or View its Detail
** HOW TO USE **
1. Execute ICON CHANGER
2. Choose application or activity to change icons
3. Choose an image from gallery / icon package
4. Icon will be changed!!!! :good: :fingers-crossed:
Cheers ! Cheers !
but don't forget to hit the sexy "Thanks" button below.
After icon packs have been loaded in your launcher ADW/APEX/HOLO/LIVEHOME there will be some apps that have not been supported.
There will be some themed icons and some unthemed icons in the app drawer.
You can apply a custom icon to any app on the home screen.
Icon changer only seems to change the icon for display on the home screen not the drawer
We are looking for an app that will ALSO change the app icon in the drawer.
I don't want to have to decompile each apk and change the icon manually. Is there an app or process that you will allow me to change apply icons for the home screen AND the drawer?
